UserAuthCertificate

Represents a PEM-encoded user certificate. These certificates are associated with a user, and externally uploaded. The uploaded certificate is used to authenticate the user.

This type extends the Metadata metadata type and inherits its fullName field.

Where possible, we changed noninclusive terms to align with our company value of Equality. We maintained certain terms to avoid any effect on customer implementations.
